The official consultation closes at 23:59 on Friday 6th February. We closed comments on the same day at 12 noon here in order to get them to the council on time, in the format they want.
We sent a printed copy of all comments that were made before midnight on 4th Feb to the council by post (recorded delivery). We are currently processing comments made by 12 noon today (6th Feb) to email to them.

A city lake would be good with a promenade and beach feature would be awesome.
We play each year with dumping tonnes of sand to make beach, but a purpose built feature would compliment the city and be professional.
